  1. Thank you so much for this! For a better sense of who to approach for stockists, particulars about their sensors, compatibility, etc., I have sent an email to Aerosus and am now perusing the websites of other manufacturers. When I hear back from anyone, I will provide an update in this topic.
  2. if I fail to provide the necessary details to render assistance....here it is! The "self level sus. inact." notice has been appearing on the dashboard of my 2005 plate E53 X5 3.0i, which I have had for 17 years. I think there is a sensor on each side of the rear suspension, and my local BMW store is offering me £148 to repair them based on the car's VIN. When I go online to attempt to get the part number, they won't provide it to me, and there are a lot different sensors to choose from. Since my vehicle only has a rear air suspension, I'm thinking that part no. 37146784697 is the right one to get instead of the two axle air suspension (part no. 37146754921). Am I accurate in thinking this? I would like to find a replacement component that is OEM similar since the dealer pricing is so high. However, I'm worried that my problem is made worse because the driver's side sensor also outputs to the headlamp levelling system. Is this correct? Are there any OEM-level options that members of this site know function just as well as the OEM parts but don't cost as much? I know to avoid the cheap knockoffs sold on Amazon and fleabay, but I'd still want to keep my budget in check. Please let me know if you need any further information, and I am grateful in advance for any responses.
  3. Greetings, everyone My residential circumstances, namely an assigned underground parking space devoid of access to 240v electricity, coupled with my driving patterns characterised by several short trips, are adversely affecting my battery's performance. I experimented with several portable chargers overnight, but their capabilities are insufficient unless I invest exorbitant amounts. The optimal approach would be to remove the battery for indoor charging; however, I have been informed that this practice is inadvisable, since it may result in rendering the FRM inoperative. Is this genuinely a matter of concern? It appears to be nonsensical, as you are effectively performing the same action as if the battery were replaced with a new one.
  4. Thank you for your prompt response. Does that pertain to models released after 2019 or those introduced subsequently? This is a 2021 model.
  5. Greetings, I am considering the acquisition of a Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. 2.0 D165 FWD Euro 6, with 50,000 kilometres. What are everyone's opinions about this model? I have explored other topics but have been unable to locate many pertaining to this specific topic. I have never owned an Evoque, but I have always desired one. I was considering a Discovery Sport; but, the updated Evoque design captivates me. The forums I am examining exhibit considerable diversity in opinions. I previously owned a 2017 F Pace 2.0 diesel, which I found satisfactory; however, I chose to downsize and sold it, however I now regret the reduction in size. I maintain awareness of service intervals and care for my vehicles.
  6. Has it ever elevated automatically? Have you decoded the VIN to verify that this was indeed an installed feature?
  7. I possess Dewalt tools and batteries. I observed that they provide a larger combined jump starter and tyre inflator.
  8. I have been examining battery jump starter units that also provide tyre inflation capabilities. Several options are available on Amazon for approximately £75, after which prices escalate to £200. Do you have any suggestions? I possess a diverse array of vehicles, ranging from my SL to a Fiat Ducati RV, and I seek a singular solution that can accommodate all of them.
  9. I could comprehend this if the back tires conformed to the same (proper) specifications, but they do not. One incorrect tyre, indeed, but three?
  10. The same brand, TRIANGLE, is inexpensive and performs poorly in wet conditions. Various dimensions and load capacities. Three tires are 235/35ZR19 91Y, while the other is 245/35ZR19 93Y (the exact specification), resulting in differing types on the front.
  11. The wheels conform to the normal specifications for the SLine model. I am perplexed as to why somebody would replace three of the four tires with non-standard options, resulting in two distinct tires on the front (driving) axle.
  12. I possess a 66-plate Sportster equipped with 19-inch low-profile tires. I purchased it last year, and it is now time to replace the two front tires. I have examined the codes, and they differ in width and load capacity. Could someone please provide the appropriate tyre specifications? I lack an owner's manual.
  13. Thank you, however, prior to posting on this site, it was my second attempt to pursue information regarding Google/AI. I accessed the 'service menu,' but the Adblue information was absent. In recent months, I have conducted extensive searches on Google for this matter, but found no results. I now presume that this function is only accessible through one of the diagnostic devices connected to the vehicle. I sincerely hope I am mistaken.
  14. Thank you. I attempted it a few days prior, and the AI likely referenced the W167 model; mine is the W166 model. Thank you.
  15. No, I have thoroughly examined everything; the service menu and related features are quite rudimentary.
  16. What is the method to verify the AdBlue level? The vehicle, a W166 GLE AMG-Line, was purchased new in 2016 and has a full service history from Mercedes-Benz until 2024. The automobile was serviced in 2023, and I accepted their assurance regarding its condition. The vehicle has completed just under 24,500 miles, with around 4,000 miles driven since the Mercedes-Benz service in 2024. Edit: Recently, I consulted AI on Google, which suggested examining the "service menu." This was utterly misleading, as the service menu for my vehicle is rather rudimentary.
  17. I am rather frustrated with myself for not seeing it before to purchase; it has evidently been leaking for an extended period. I will examine it tomorrow; however, there is a flex on both exhaust manifolds that I suspect may be prone to splitting over time. Uncertain whether it is a DIY task suitable for a mechanic with minimal knowledge or if it requires a specialist's intervention. The manifolds are around £250 each from Autodoc; the cost of the actual component is uncertain. Thank you.
  18. Indeed, the vertical heat shields have a distinctly powdered texture rather than an oily one. Thank you.
  19. Greetings, I acquired an X218 a few months before, and it has had many troubles, the most recent being exhaust fumes emanating from the back of the engine and into the cockpit. The heat shields are furthermore black. My study suggests that I likely have a leaking exhaust manifold; however, I cannot determine which side it is without removing all the intakes. Could this be anything else? Is this a common issue, and what is the typical cost for the repair? Thank you
  20. The pump's full cut-off is activated by the absence of air in the car's filling tube when the tank reaches capacity. When the pump nozzle is correctly placed, which is necessary to dispense gasoline into my vehicle, I have not experienced any fuel leaks. It is essential to recognize that the gasoline filler system has a canister mechanism designed to absorb vapors, which may get saturated if the tank is overfilled or 'brimmed'; thus, it is advisable not to exceed the first click while filling. When calculating gasoline usage, I attempt to return to the same pump and rely on the sensor's constant functionality.
  21. If it consumes double the amount of gasoline, it would be unpleasant, to say the least. Conduct a smoke test on the intake, followed by an examination of live data to identify any emerging issues.
  22. Vehicle scheduled for Tuesday. I possess sufficient charge to reach the destination, but not an excess - therefore, let us hope for a resolution!
